The Town Board finds that regular meeting attendance by all appointed board members will advance the public interest, is critical to the proper function and to timely and reasoned action on applications submitted to the boards. Accordingly, regular meeting attendance is a condition of the appointment of each board member and a condition for continuing in office.
This article shall apply to all members of the following boards:
A. 
Planning Board.
B. 
Zoning Board of Appeals.
C. 
Environmental Conservation Commission (Environmental Review Board).
The following is hereby established as the minimum meeting attendance requirements: No board member shall be absent without permission of the Chairperson of the board for more than three successive meetings or more than four meetings in any one calendar year. The Chairperson of each respective board shall obtain permission from the Town Supervisor for absences. Neither the respective Chairperson nor the Supervisor shall give permission for absences unless such absence is due to illness, temporary employment duties, family emergency or similar situation. As used herein, the word "meeting" applies to any regular, workshop, or special meeting of the member's board.
The Town Board shall have the power, after the opportunity for a hearing, to remove any board member for noncompliance with the minimum requirements established herein.
